The obverse of this coin honors Poppaea, Nero's (and previously Otho's) wife. In January of 63 she gave birth to Claudia, who survived only four months. This is the only coinage issued in the name of Nero's daughter. According to Suetonius, Nero killed Poppaea, while pregnant with another child, by kicking her in the abdomen.
